Chapter 495: Conversation with the Last King, Exotic Immortal Knock (Ask for Subscriptions and Votes)
Outside the Primordial Imperial City, Shi Hao's steps were firm, advancing towards that city. His forehead was still glowing, and he was gradually approaching the ancient city, and there were many bones on the uneven ground, some of which were so lifelike that one wondered if there was still life.
In a clearing not far from the Primordial Imperial City, there was a pile of skeletons burning, like a fire, and the light of the fire was red. I can vaguely see that the skeleton area in the fire has unburned flesh and skin, and even half of the face.
Around the firelight, there are various runes locked, which are the Gaidai magic circle, isolating the firelight. This is an immortal-level magic circle, and these bones and flesh that are burned are naturally immortal beings, comparable to the existence of true immortals.
Outside the Primordial Imperial City, there were many such fires, and they were all destroyed under the city, and in order to avoid the exposure of the destructive aura, they were sealed with peerless runes.
"They're still there, a few...... Child? ”
Yan led Shi Hao to the city gate, looked up, and could see that there were still people in the city. Although it is very cold, it is also very quiet, and it lacks popularity. But on the tower of the ancient gate, there were indeed people, living beings, who seemed to be children.
A few children in ragged clothes, ranging from eight or nine to fifteen or sixteen years old, had dirty faces and shabby clothes. It should have been the appearance of the two of them that alarmed the people in the city, and a few relatively tall figures appeared, a few old men.
These old men were very weak, as if they had been seriously injured, and their origin was damaged, and they were looking down with solemn expressions. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, they can be described as such. But these are the people who are fighting at the forefront of the fight against the Exotic.
In this era, in the early years, the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were calm and unthreatened. It was because of the Seven Kings of the Frontier Wilderness of the Primordial Imperial City that stopped the army that was constantly knocking on the foreign lands, killed many immortal beings, and suppressed the most important levels.
These people, these ragged old and sick, these old people and children, they are on top and blocking the front.
"Clansmen?"
Above the Primordial Imperial City, an old man looked down, staring at Shi Hao, looking at the beating rune flame in the center of his eyebrows, opening his mouth with difficulty, and a trace of brilliance appeared in his cloudy old eyes.
This sound of the clansman made Shi Hao's heart tremble, there was a sour feeling in his heart, and his mind could not be calm, is this a clansman, he has been fighting at the forefront.
The old man at the head of the city had a white beard, a thin and withered body, only one arm, ragged clothes, stains of blood, wrinkled face, and cloudy eyes, and his body was very decrepit.
How much suffering did they endure, how much suffering did they endure? Even the children and the frail old people have climbed the city wall, but I am afraid that the young and strong are basically dead!
This is a lonely city, there is no one to support it, and it is at the forefront, even the masters in the city can't withstand such consumption.
Many people are defending the city, and the strongest is naturally the Seven Kings of the Frontier Wilderness, but there are too many enemies, and they will not retreat in a hundred battles, and the blood stains red here. In the end, women and children, the elderly, and children all went to the city, followed by guards, and participated in the bloody battle.
"Senpai!"
Shi Hao opened his mouth, looking up at the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city, there was a sense of respect, and even more agitated emotions, he really wanted to change all this.
On the city wall, dirty children looked down, as young as eight or nine years old, as old as fifteen or sixteen, unkempt and unkempt, with wariness in their eyes. Their faces were numb, and only in the depths of their eyes was a wisp of curiosity, staring at the people under the city walls.
"You...... It's outside...... Clansman? ”
He looked at Shi Hao and spoke, probably hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was hoarse, and he couldn't speak clearly, it seemed that there was only fighting, blood and ruthless fighting here.
"Really, really immortal? Are you from Wonderland? Is it reinforcements? ”
The old man's gaze turned to Yan Kuan, and two beams of light flew out of his cloudy old eyes, and he carried a bronze battle axe in one arm. There was anticipation in his words, the Primordial Imperial City was too eager for reinforcements.
"I'm not from the Immortal Realm."
The words were wide and flat, and the old man's eyes darkened a lot.
Under the instruction of Yan Kuan, Shi Hao stepped on a three-foot square bluestone under the city wall, which was very simple and had nothing peculiar.
But the moment Shi Hao went up, the bluestone instantly glowed, and a ball of fire enveloped Shi Hao. swept through his veins and limbs, and even his soul did not let go.
This firelight didn't hurt Shi Hao, he felt warm, and the rune light on his forehead was even more intense, as if he was being blessed by a force.
"It's not an outlandish tyrannical creature impersonating."
The old man nodded, and many people on the city wall, including the children, breathed a sigh of relief, and this stone could be used to determine whether it was a real stone clansman.
"Look up again."
The old man said cautiously, there is a bone mirror hanging on the city gate, which is very warm. At this time, a ray of light shot down, straight into Shi Hao's sea of divine consciousness, and submerged into his soul, in the process, Shi Hao did not resist and waited quietly.
"The clansmen, indeed the clansmen, came with good intentions and did not lie."
The old man was excited, and the rest of the city wall were also happy, and the children cheered in low voices.
"Little Stone, have a good chat with them."
Yan Kuan patted Shi Hao's shoulder, and then stepped back. Although he also came with good intentions, it was impossible for him to open his heart to accept this kind of test, and some of the messages in his primordial spirit were too great for cause and effect.
Soon after Yan Kuan left, a blue fire rose on the earth, like a netherworld fire, as if there was an immortal aura permeating it, building an insurmountable wall of fire. The one-armed old man suddenly appeared, turned on his defenses, and walked out alone.
"Immortal Venerable, please come into the city."
After Yan Kuan waited for a while, the voice of a one-armed old man came from the flames at the city gate. After experiencing the exchange with Shi Hao, the old man completely let down his guard, and this was the first time he had brought someone in for a long time.
Yan Kuan stepped into the flames without hesitation, and this immortal formation did not hurt him. There was a glimmer of light at the city gate, and the three of them disappeared from their place and entered the city directly.
In this process, the city is like a huge soul body, and they are examined to confirm that there is nothing before they manifest in the city.
"It's ......"
They came to the center of the Imperial City, and there was a huge palace in front of them, and the whole body was surging with fire and fire, almost transparent. Vaguely, it can be seen that several kings in the palace are sitting cross-legged, burning their true bodies, their bones are ignited, and their flesh and blood are releasing essence to bless the city.
"After the Seven Kings died in battle, they burned themselves to bless the Imperial City, and they are still guarding here."
The old man said very calmly, but he revealed too much sadness, helplessness, and sadness, the seven kings of the border wilderness, the earth-shattering big man, but the end was so sad.
Not far away someone was sobbing, it was a child, skinny, not tall, with mud on his face, wiping tears from the palace from his eyes. The child's crying is very depressing and direct, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
"The descendants of the Seven Kings are now pitiful."
The one-armed old man sighed softly. After learning what happened to the descendants of the Seven Kings from Shi Hao's mouth, his heart was also very heavy.
The ancestors gave an order to stay here and not retreat, they were with the city, and they died with the city. But is it worth it for them to pay like this?
"I hope you can take these children."
The one-armed old man said that he was going to disobey the orders of his ancestors, to make an exception, to let these children live. This era has reached the end of its life, and these old guys can have a hunch that the Primordial Imperial City may not be able to hold on.
Some of them have been stationed here since the last era, and there is nothing to bury with them, but children, he can't bear it.
"Senior, take all the women and children, let's get out of here!"
Shi Hao said, his heart was greatly touched, it was very uncomfortable, most of the children in the city had lost their fathers, brothers and sisters, and some families even had no descendants, and the entire imperial city contained too much bitterness.
Shi Hao was in a heavy mood, entering this ancient imperial lonely city, and learning a lot of truths, he could hardly smile, and he felt very depressed. Moreover, Armageddon is coming, and it will be even more dangerous here.
"The ancestors have an order! Moreover, we can't walk if we want to. ”
The one-armed old man shook his head after a long silence, and then led them to a low hill, a quiet place, with artemisia grass growing at the foot of the mountain, and dried black blood stains on the mountain, dead and lifeless, where the last king lived.
The Seven Kings of the Frontier Wilderness, and now there is the last king left, he hasn't shown up for a long time, is he really still alive? Even the people in the city did not know the details.
Unless it is a matter of life and death, the last of the seven kings rarely makes a move, because it is very difficult to maintain the lonely city, and only if he is still alive, this city will not fall, and he can borrow the power of the abyss.
"See the king!"
The one-armed old man, with reverence and reverence, bowed here to the low mountain.
"Shi Hao has seen Gu Zu!"
Shi Hao is also very serious, and he is here to give a salute, with a look of respect.
Even Yan Kuan bowed slightly. In any case, the Seven Kings are heroic and respectable, leading their respective clansmen to fight here, never retreating, rejecting the enemy's borders, and guarding the nine heavens and ten earths with blood and life.
The low mountains glow, soft, and serene as they spread outward.
"I know what you want, let the kids go!"
These were the words of the last king to the one-armed old man, there was no coercion, no energy fluctuations, everything was so calm.
The one-armed old man's eyes were sour, muddy tears rolled down, he knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Wang! ”
"It's useless for me to wait, it's hard for the children!"
The last of the Seven Kings of the Frontier Wilderness said this, sighing softly, very sluggish, like a withered yellow leaf falling. His voice sounded again, this time towards Shi Hao, with only two words, "Alive!" ”
This is an admonition, and it can be regarded as a warning, when it reaches a certain level, it can foresee many things.
"Daoist friends are here, what do you think?"
The last king spoke again, this time in conversation with Yan Kuan.
Yan Kuan said calmly: "Come for the future of the nine heavens and ten earths, outside and inside!" First quell this turmoil, then take time to liquidate everything in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and then find a way to solve a few guys from the Immortal Realm, and gather all the strength to quell the Exotic. ”
His voice echoed, and the low mountain did not respond for a long time, and the one-armed old man kneeling on the ground froze. He'd been in the Primordial Imperial City long enough to know a lot of secrets. What Yan Kuan said, each of which is an earth-shattering event.
"It's hard."
The last king of the low mountain finally spoke again.
Yan Kuan said solemnly: "You have to do it if it's difficult, otherwise you'll just wait for death slowly." Your plan is difficult to achieve, and if you really want to solve the problem, you must first destroy those few infighting guys and unite all forces to destroy the foreign land.
Fellow Daoists, when the interruption continues, they are subject to its chaos...... You'd rather lead your descendants to the brink of death than go back and fight. You continue to sacrifice like this, but in exchange for the betrayers who continue to grow and develop, they will continue to persecute and eventually cut off you and other descendants.
If they continue, they will eventually destroy the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Immortal Realm, and plunge the world into despair. Is this what you want to see? ”
"Alas!"
The sigh of the last king came from the top of the low mountain, and he finally made a decision, because everything that Yan Kuan said was true and right.
Their previous tolerance and focus on the overall situation were exchanged for framing and betrayal, and among these infighting, there are many people who are secretly connected to foreign lands. If these people are not eliminated and this group is eliminated, the war against foreign lands will never usher in a turning point.
"This action of the Exotic Land is looking for clues to the origin of the ancient artifact, we can ......"
Yan Kuan discussed with the last king a plan to snipe at the Exotics. This exotic move is to find out some clues, and the location is in the Sin State.
The foreign realm is much more united than the fairy realm, and the plans for the nine heavens and ten lands are all started at the same time, and the several immortal kings who shot this time are all veteran immortal kings, and the younger ones are only responsible for some marginal schemes, and they will not take risks.
After all, Yan Kuan's cultivation days are short, and his current strength is at most to touch some weaker Immortal Kings, and against those few Immortal Kings who take risks, he has little chance of winning directly. But if you plan carefully, you may be able to destroy a giant.
There are not many immortal kings on the other side of the foreign land, and it is a big loss to die one, and with the changes in heaven and earth caused by the fall of the immortal king, the buffer between the nine heavens and ten lands and the foreign land can be rearranged, and time can be bought for Yan Kuan's integration of the nine heavens and ten earths, as well as the next plan.
"Bell ......"
Just as Yan Kuan and them were discussing, a dull bell rang, and everyone in the Primordial Imperial City suddenly had their eyes beamed, including the children, who also ran quickly and rushed to all parts of the city wall. They held various magic weapons in their hands, emitting powerful fluctuations.
Shi Hao was shocked when he saw the figure of Yizun running quickly, these children were very vigorous, far surpassing their peers in the outside world, as fast as one little cheetah after another, and the murderous aura emitted was better than that of fierce beasts.
Even a child of a few years old looks unusually athletic. But children are children after all, they are armed with weapons, but they are just cultivating a consciousness, and because there is really no one in the city, the young and strong have all died in battle.
"There is an enemy coming!"
The one-armed old man shouted.
Yan Kuan nodded towards the low mountain, and then teleported to the city with the one-armed old man and Shi Hao, and saw that a layer of light curtain had been raised, guarding the entire ancient city, which was a light curtain formed by runes, which could block the attack of immortals.
A huge beast appeared, but it was not the real body, and the immortal creature appeared through the corpse, aiming at the ancient city, which was a kind of temptation, in preparation for the final Armageddon.
The old man waved his hand and asked the children to do it, and the communication between them was very simple, almost without words. A group of children were silent, standing in some special areas of the city wall, holding magic weapons, silently offering runes and urging divine power.
"Boom!"
The wall seemed to come back to life, emitting a glimmer of light, and then a huge sword emerged and slashed forward, slashing at the ancient beast.
These children use special secret treasures that can resonate with the wall, giving rise to defensive runes and offensive and killing techniques.
However, after they urged, their little faces were snow-white and lacked blood, and soon some people sat down, silently recited the sacrificial text, and communicated with some "fires" in the city.
Those fires are very special, they are all skeletons, and there is immortal power permeating, and they are borrowing a trace of divine light, a wisp of divine light, and transmitting it through the magic weapon.
The skeleton of the immortal creature is locked by a special rune array, which lends a little bit of power each time, but it is also possible to have an accident, once a small cloud of immortal fire erupts, it is enough to make the children die ten thousand times.
And if there is an accident during the transmission of the magic weapon, it will also be a great disaster.
"Their fathers, ancestors, and dozens or even thousands of people sacrificed their lives together, rushing out with the flames of the bones of immortal beings, and fighting side by side with the king."
The one-armed old man said calmly, this kind of thing is very cruel and bloody. It's all about filling in with his life, but he said it so plainly.
"Calling on the power of the abyss, the price to be paid is even greater."
The one-armed old man sighed, in that kind of critical moment, when the Immortal King is coming, they can only fight like this.
